What Is Trump Trying To Protect HImself From?

Where there is smoke we often find fire.  This article describes all of the smoke coming from the White House and from Trump's Twitter account.  It's hard to believe that a completely innocent person would have taken all of the steps that Trump has employed to end the Russian investigation. Many of his actions support a narrative of person who is doing whatever he can to undermine an investigation that may uncover the fire.  Moreover, its difficult to construct a narrative of an innocent person who has nothing to hide.  Trump is losing the narrative battle.
